Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976

What is the TSCA? The Toxic Substances Control Act was introduced in 1976 in order to regulate new and existing chemical products.

What the TSCA does. The Toxic Substances Control Act includes a list of “existing chemicals”, which are chemicals that have been approved by the TSCA. If a chemical is not listed, it’s referred to as a “new chemical”, and must go through a long process to get onto the list.

Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PBC) products The TSCA specifically regulates PCB products, which are known to cause certain skin conditions in people, and cancer in animals. The elemental makeup of this compound consists of two rings of Carbon bonds with varying amounts of Chlorine mixed in. Commonly used in (or was, before PCB products were regulated); hydraulic fluids, adhesives, fluorescent light bulbs, pigments, casting waxes…
